What the hell? How did he warrant this response? All he said was that with a 180/4.0, the person should be applying to Harvard. My only quibble would be that they should be applying to Yale.

All that other stuff, my god, you're really projecting a lot of your own issues onto this discussion.

This is an unfortunate truth, however I would strongly suggest that people also look into HOW the rankings are tabulated. I read an interesting thread that is calling into question the ACTUAL differences between the law schools out there and that often times higher ranking is given to institutions that have the means to pay more money to USNWR.
